TEAM NOTES
Coach: Pepe Murcia (1st year took over for Carlos Bianchi Week 18) Liga Primera
Record: 7-7-8
Rank: 11th, 29 points
Last Result: 3-1 win at Barcelona, February 5
Streak: Won 3 Next Game: vs. Real Sociedad, February 12 Atletico Madrid's resurrection continued with a stunning 3-1 win over league-leader Barcelona at the Nou Camp. The result ended Barcelona's 14-game winning streak in La Liga, falling one-game short of tying Real Madrid's Liga Primera record of 15 straight wins set in the 1960-61 season. Fernando Torres scored a pair of goals as Atletico swept all six points from Barcelona in the two matches this season. Torres has scored in four straight games against the Catalan giants. Maxi Rodriguez, who scored 15 goals for Espanyol last season, is finding his form under new coach Pepe Murcia. Maxi has scored four goals in his last three matches. Maxi and Ariel Ibagaza are in doubt for this weekend's match against Real Sociedad. Earlier this season, Atletico let a two-goal lead slip away in a 3-2 loss to Real Sociedad in San Sebastian. After just four wins in the first half of the season, Atletico already has three victories to start the second half of the campaign.
